Light patches of green on leaves
I just noticed that my Brassavola Nodosa and a cymbidium have areas on the leaves where the green is lighter than other areas. Both plants are growing very well, and the cymbidium is shooting out its first flower spike. Growing conditions have been consistent, although I increased watering on both about 1.5 months ago due to slightly shriveled leaves on the B Nodosa.
When I see light patches on leaves I immediately think of a virus. However, could this be an indicator of too much light for the cymbidium? The Brassavola new growth has the red spots from bright conditions, but the mature leaves do not. Incorrect fertilization techniques? Flush both with Physan 20?
